Monday, September 1, 2014

You probably know the Ice Bucket Challenge : a person pours a bucket of ice water over his head to raise awareness about and donations to fund research for
the disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and then nominates three others to do the same. The phenomenon, which has gone viral on the web, is also taken up by business schools.

MBA Students of the Fuqua School of Business at Duke University initiated the Ice Bucket Challenge between top business schools.

UNC Kenan-Flager responded brilliantly to the challenge.
